This Way Lies Pladness

Are you a Hockey fan? Do you find uniform design interesting? Well then, check out the story on very special Plaid Uniforms worn by the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League. (Affiliation - Nashville Predators) -- My icon shows the regular jersey designs...






I think I kind of want one of these. It's mesmerizing. You could skate at ludicrous speed. How could any goalie defend against someone dressed like that? It's just not possible.

Olympics Note - Sasha Cohen fell on her tuchus and got Silver. Very sad for her. People will remember Michelle Kwan as the skater who kept getting beat. They'll remember Sasha as the skater who choked.

Both the US and Canada hockey teams have been bounced. It's only mildly disappointing for the US, because our team is old and slow. Which, really, is a sorry indicator on the quality of under-30 US Hockey players. It's crusing for the Canadians. They've got young players, they've got great players, how can they not even score against Switzerland? My expectation is either Finland or Russia for gold. I like Alex Ovechkin, but I have a longstanding practice of rooting for the Finns the minute the US is eliminated, for no reason other than I think Finnish names sound awesome.

How can you not love this kitsch-y plaid? It's so Milwaukee. And in honor of Bob Uecker. It's mesmerizing...

And I love the hockey hair. Not for aesthetic reasons, but because it's just so awesome that those dudes are like that. You know, when the playoffs roll around, and nobody is shaving. And you've got dudes with big grizzly man beards. And giant mullets. I still haven't forgiven Jaromir Jagr for cutting off his awesome mullet. (And also for not trying too hard when he played in DC)

I just want to go on record as saying that JAGR ROCKS AND NOTHING YOU CAN SAY WILL EVER CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. For serious, when I was a little kid, he was one of my heroes, which is deeply strange, because . . . I was a little kid, and he was a big burly ice hockey player, and also my dad is like a huge Rangers fan. Go figure, Jagr's the man.

I'm gonna forward these plaid pictures to randompictures. Other people deserve to be horrified.

Just admit that Jagr's mullet was the awesomest hockey mullet ever.
